An investigation was made in the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, Annamalai University to find out the "Effect of panchagavya on germination and seedling growth of balsam". The experiment was carried out in Factorial Completely Randomized Design (FCRD) with six treatments and three replications. The seeds are soaked in 5 different concentrations (1-5%) of panchagavya along with distilled water soaking in different time duration of 8, 16 and 24 hours. After the required period of soaking the seeds are taken out and transferred to planting media. The media used in this study was soil, sand and organic matter with the ratio of 1:1:1. Among the various concentration of panchagavya used, 2% with 24 hours soaking showed maximum percentage of germination (86%), shoot length (14 cm) and root length (4 cm).
